Awning Material and Color on New Build
« on: May 23, 2018, 06:12:20 pm »
Got to thinking about my build sheet and the awning came to mind.  Will the awning be acrylic material?  What is the color (toast full body paint)?   My last moho had all acrylic awnings and all a solid color of dark tan.  Trying to get some info before I call the office.

If Phoenix Cruiser is still using Carefree brand awnings then I believe the available materials are either vinyl or acrylic.  A single color is listed as, "Custom Acrylic Solid."

I don't know the relationship Phoenix has with the supplier of their awnings, but somehow the awnings are color-coordinated with the color of the PC.  Nobody ever talks about it, not Phoenix to us, and not us to Phoenix.  It's one of those magical things that happens behind the scenes.

I don't know about the material choices, I never gave it a thought that there would be choices to consider.

Speaking about awnings in-general....When rolling up your awning, always make sure it has no leaves or sticks on it.

Trying my best closing a cleaned-off awning during a crazy wind & rain storm, a few wet leaves were blown back on and stuck to it.  The next day I opened the awning to find that the leaves stained the awning.  When we got home, I bleached and scrubbed, but those leaf outlines are there to stay.  So now I have the "autumn" theme printed on my gray striped awning.

Does anyone here have a method in removing leaf stains from the awning?

Shout it out.  Spray "Shout" laundry stuff on it.  Roll it up and let it sit a while.  Unroll and wash. If that doesn't work try a solution of Oxi-Clean and water...or both.   Also, thanks for your reply to my question.

Thank you, sir.  I will give Barry H. a call.

I will have to try those two products.  Thanks for the tip.

Ron there is an artist in my group who makes custom shirts and scarfs by rolling them up with leaves inside and then putting them in hot water of various temperatures.  She does very well at art shows.  Just a thought, you might have the start of a custom business going there.

 :beg  Oh boy. We just finished a festival that got 7 inches of rain over 6 days, and there are  leaves in there for 4 days now. Gonna roll it out this afternoon and see what our fall festive pattern is.  roflol

Might be a good thing.. I am not happy with the flimsy fiamma awning assembly, and we have been looking at upgrading.  (nod)

For those who may be interested...I spoke with Barry Hysor this morning.  The awning fabric is acrylic and color coordinated with the paint scheme on the PC. 

Thanks again to all those who replied to my question.
